Almasirah TV Anchor:

Dear viewers, peace and mercy of God be upon you.

Finally, Sayyed Abdulmalik Al-Houthi, the leader of the revolution, is in a TV interview, the first of its kind. Almasirah channel had the first chance of meeting. Thanks to precedence, we are here in the presence of the leader who broke in the difficulties, firmly believed in the will of the people and struggled vast cataclysms. In the face of that, he wrestles with the argument and struggles with all his strength, without tingling, tiring or leaning. Neither the aggression broke the will of the people nor did the storm change the course of its liberation.

In the fifth year of the large and dangerous aggression, which was firstly announced by Washington, Trump vetoed a congressional resolution that sought to end US involvement in the Saudi-led war in Yemen. Between the day of resolution and the veto, there was a party in Warsaw, where Israel was to the right of the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the pro-aggression government and US on the left. What solution would put an end to a war in which the most powerful States and entities engaged in tyranny and aggression? Here with our leader, we wonder what the horizon of confrontation? Where is Yemen at this stage? How the most files and issues of the region become? And in the depth, we ask what has changed in the consciousness of the Yemeni People to be able to fight this unequal confrontation! And humanitarian, where has the tragedy reached a people living in a grievance beyond the oppressiveness of the people of Palestine, and to mention Palestine, how the American "deal of the century" was coupled with profit and loss of the fate of the aggression of the century?

Here we are in the presence of a leader who is at the heart of the events since the beginning of the Qur'anic march, in 2002, in the face of the Bush's American attack on the region, then the year of regional transformations, Ansarullah participated in the revolution of the Yemeni people on February 11, where the Revolution was hijacked by the Gulf initiative and power sharing between its former poles, and the revolutionists' breath was suppressed until 2014. The revolution has revived its anger and violence. What is new? The leader of the revolution came surrounded by the people of Yemen. It is only half a year from September 2014, the revolution won and the Peace and Partnership Agreement, which was sponsored by the United Nations and was welcomed internationally, was signed.

Then the US-Saudi aggression launched a devastating campaign against Yemen in March 2015, with the goal of bringing the so-called legitimate government. Opponents and enemies blockaded the leader of the revolution for his doctrine and ideology, they besieged him with all falsehood, stripped him of any guaranteed right as a human or as a Yemeni citizen. Every disadvantage was said in him and in his project that he believes in, they left nothing of the insults dictionary, but used in insulting him. They are those who betrayed national values and charters and left the land of the republic to become disrespectful guests in royal hotels.

Here with Sayyed, and from the unique location of Yemen, a distinguished place, we look forward to the future of this nation, which is historically extended to the dawn of the timeless Prophet Mohammed message. We welcome you, our Sayyed, our leader, and thank you for giving us this opportunity to conduct this dialogue. We also thank you for giving Almasirah Channel the honor of hosting you, welcome.

Sayyed Abdulmalik:

Welcome, God bless you. I welcome you and all the crew at Almasirah Channel.

Almasirah TV Anchor:

May God bless you. The outset of the talk would be about the surrounding events and developments going on, locally and internationally, in the political file. Firstly, as we are in the first anniversary of the martyrdom of President Saleh Al-Sammad, can we say that Yemen managed to overcome the ordeal?

Sayyed Abdulmalik:

In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful. The aggressive targeting of our brother martyr President Saleh Al-Sammad, God rest his soul, was a painful and shocking event for our dear people. Indeed, the magnitude of the shock was great, but at the same time it was an important factor in the steadfastness of this people, their dedication and their struggling. Till this day, thank God, there is already a transgression of this ordeal, and the enemy did not achieve what it was aiming for by targeting the martyr Saleh.

Almasirah TV Anchor:

Yes, this is for the reality and the situation of the people. For you, Sayyed, how did you receive the news of the martyrdom?

Sayyed Abdulmalik:

Brother martyr President Saleh Al-Sammad, God rest his soul, was a dear brother to me and to all brothers, he was a trail companion from an early stage in all the past stages. He is one of the best men of this country. He has made great and distinguished contributions, both in the pre-revolutionary escalation --stages of the former regime--, in the stages of revolutionary escalation or in the stage of dealing with aggression. He has a great presence in our conscience and our feelings as a dear brother and a companion. Certainly, the magnitude of the accident and its pain is great for me, for all the people of the whole society and for all our dear people who are against aggression, thank God we have overcome this ordeal.

Almasirah TV Anchor:

Praise be to God. In the fifth year, Sayyed, how is your impression of the revival of the Yemeni People for the fourth anniversary of steadfastness in the face of aggression? Do not you think that the aggression has been prolonged and may negatively affect the popular steadfastness? Or is the extent of the attack and the forces involved in it required this period?

Sayyed Abdulmalik:

The mass public presence in the anniversary of steadfastness for the fifth year is not strange to this people. It is an expression of its stability, struggling and steadfastness. At the same time, Yemenis have been present in the squares, fields and fronts since the beginning of the aggression. It is not strange for our dear people to make this great attendance to inaugurate the fifth year of steadfastness.

This people have a great balance of values, principles and ethics. It has a very fair and grievous cause. These are important factors that help Yemenis to attend and enter the fifth year with this efficiency, enthusiasm, steadfastness and this great distinctive and compelling presence.

As for the length of time of the aggression, there are two sides, the first aspect concerns our dear people. This aggression is great. It is natural that the period of aggression is prolonged and that our people cannot reach a direct resolution of the battle, but steadfastness is victory for this long period compared to the size of the aggression. On the part of enemies, the length of this period is a failure for them. Of course, if we come to events in the region in general, what is happening to us is not isolated from what is happening in the rest of the countries of the region. Events have a long period like the war on Syria since 2011 till today, the conflict in Libya since 2011 till today, crises and security, militarily, politically conflicts of various forms in the region, different from one country to another have a long time. The region has many problems and long-term war crises not only in Yemen. The length of the aggression will never, God willing, affect the steadfastness, cohesion and stability of our people, because it believes in its cause, it is aware of the nature of this aggression and the objectives of this aggression. It is aware of the risks of dereliction and negligence or retreat and defeat in this battle.

Almasirah TV Anchor:

Sayyed, what about the basic factors that helped this people and helped the Yemeni steadfastness to stand in the face of a fierce aggressive coalition betting on victory in two weeks?

Sayyed Abdulmalik:

The first factor, faith and mental factor, is to resort to God Almighty and trust him. It is a key factor in steadfastness and stability.

Our dear people are the people who the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said on them "Belief is Yemenite and Wisdom is Yemenite". Faith is principles, values and ethics. Principles of rejection of slavery to God Almighty, great values, including pride and dignity. With this principle of faith, with these values of faith, our people move and can bear whatever the size of sacrifices.

The other factor is the awareness, the great awareness of our dear people about the truth of this aggression and the objectives behind this aggression, which aims to control Yemen, land and humanity. And that the risk of surrender is very large in the present and future means loss, loss to this country, this generation and future generations. The enormity of the heinous and horrible crimes has also had an important effect in provoking this people, in pushing people to endure and patience and to provoke anger, zeal and pride. This group of factors have a significant impact on the steadfastness of this people and in its stability, the first is to resort to God Almighty and rely on God Almighty.

Almasirah TV Anchor:

Yes, for the war of aggression, Sayyed, this seems to be without a horizon. What is your opinion about this complexity?

Sayyed Abdulmalik:

First, with regard to the aggression, its length and the occlusion of the horizon, the coalition of aggression is the one that reached a stage with no horizon for them. As for the Yemeni People, our hope is on God Almighty, and our awareness of the justice of our cause is an important horizon for our steadfastness, stability and our response to this aggression.

But there are important points related to this subject. As we have already pointed out, there are a number of events in the region, whether in Syria, or before the Palestinian cause, or what happened in Iraq or in Libya. The whole region is experiencing heavy losses and major events. There are major parties that are involved in these events and those are the US and Israel. The American and Israeli intervention in these events and making these events, problems, crises and the utilization and employment of the problems already exist --both in the Yemeni field or in others-- has a large role in the complexity of events and in the length and duration.

Therefore, the US wants to continue these events in Yemen and elsewhere. It provides the necessary political cover and protection to those regional powers and regional regimes that act as tools for the implementation of its agenda and conspiracies. This is one of the main factors of the complexity of the war in Yemen and the complexity of other problems in the region, whether in Syria and in other countries or in countries where problems will arise in future.

At the same time there is a tangle in the ambitions and objectives of these regional powers by exploiting the problems already exist in the Yemeni arena and in other arenas, all these factors combined to complicate the problem more and more. But the horizon exists for us as a Yemeni People and for us as peoples in this region by our insistence on achieving freedom and independence and reaching a state of total liberation from dependence on American hegemony. As well as access to strength in the face of the Israeli enemy and the Israeli threat, which is a danger to all the peoples of the region. We must only be patient, seek God Almighty and continue our struggling. These tools, that have been associated with this role, are living a real dilemma. The cost and crisis on them are big. Things become worse for them day after day.

Almasirah TV Anchor:

As you touch on, Sayyed, the events at the geographical level in the entire region, there are those who say that this confrontation in the aggression against Yemen has become the cornerstone for determining the fate of the entire region, how do you see that?

Sayyed Abdulmalik:

There is no doubt that the aggression on Yemen and the Yemeni role have a significant impact on the whole region. If both Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates succeeded in implementing the role it wanted to carry out by proxy for the US and Israel, it would be a burden on the rest of the peoples and countries of the region, whether in the Gulf or in the rest of the Arab region and the Islamic world. Saudi Arabia and the UAE would have turned the role, the battle and the problem, from an achievement that they had made in their estimation, to one country or another.

Almasirah TV Anchor:

Sayyed, turning to the negotiating track and to the vision of a political solution. After a round of negotiations that has fully failed, the public opinion speaks and asks about the feasibility of negotiating with a party, which does not have a decision. Is not that a waste of time?

Sayyed Abdulmalik:

First, our participation in these negotiations and dialogues, although in many cases we expect that the enemy, unfortunately, will work to thwart them and it is not serious, is an argument. Secondly, our participation reveals and refutes the enemy's claims that it is forced to continue aggression, because it is always trying to promote us, that we do not want peace, we do not want a solution.

Of course, the enemy is keen to send its Yemeni mercenaries and traitors to attend this dialogue, to provide a misconception about the nature of this aggression, as if it was an internal problem between the Yemenis, requiring dialogue to reach a solution. We say that the aggression is greater than the case of an internal problem. We already have an internal problem, but it was about to be resolved before the aggression itself. Jamal Benomar, a former United Nations envoy, attests to the Security Council that we were, the Yemenis, on the verge of signing an agreement. But they intervened and launched aggression on our country. The enemy is keen to present this dialogue, while the Saudi and the UAE are absent or only attend from behind, the Americans and British usually attend, the ambassadors' group of the 18 countries, in some cases and tours, but they usually tend to highlight the problem as only an internal problem. Then they say since the Yemenis did not agree, there is only the continuation of the aggression.

We are working to establish the argument, uncover the truth, and refute the allegations of enemies which put forth that we do not want peace. In the end, they, the traitors and the coalition of aggression, will be blamed.

Almasirah TV Anchor:

But, Sayyed, there are those who hold the national parties in Sana'a, Ansarallah and their allies, responsible for intransigence and the refusal to make concessions that facilitate the way to peace. Has a real chance been offered in this path for a just peace?

Sayyed Abdulmalik:

There wasn't any chance offered from the aggression side. The countries of aggression did not enter the dialogue process seriously. They did not want to reach fair and logical solutions. It is normal for them to have such false allegations. However, the issue is clear. In all past rounds, the National Delegation has presented a clear, logical, correct and sound vision, a vision that is based on partnership, based on security for all, based on recognized foundations and benchmarks. But the other side is clearly intransigent. It either continued intransigence in reaching any solution or agreement, in some cases, or if there are any understandings on partial issues, evades them.

Almasirah TV Anchor:

As for the Stockholm agreement, it is primarily a humanitarian agreement with an international envoy and has formed a Redeployment Coordination Committee and unilateral operational steps. In your opinion, where will the Stockholm agreement reach?

Sayyed Abdulmalik:

There are complications from the other side of the coalition of aggression and their mercenaries, clear intransigence and an attempt to evade the implementation of the obligations of this agreement and the obligations contained therein.

The brothers, the head of the National Delegation and politicians, explained in many speeches a lot about this subject. The agreement, as you mentioned, is humanitarian, it based on the provision of a supervisory role of the United Nations in the port and the neutralization of Hodeidah militarily with the survival of administrative and security situation linked to Sana'a's National Forces according to Yemeni law. We have said in many speeches and meetings that the existence of oversight role of the United Nations testifies the fact that the agreement is based on the survival of the administrative and security situation linked to Sana'a, because there is no censorship over Jeddah, Dubai, Aden or the coalition of aggression. They wanted to censor us. The presence of censorship in the agreement attests to the truth and substance of this agreement. Later, the other side tried to circumvent the issue of the security and administration of Sana'a and to enter either as a partner or to bypass in any way. They presented ideas that are all naive and not applicable at all. The mercenaries did not agree among themselves on running the area under their control, the aggression coalition forces did not agree on running Aden and did not co-exist with each other. The aggression tried to bypass the administrative issue and its relation to Sana'a's National Forces. Also, it tried to manipulate the security issue and it is responsible for re-implementing, because we were always present for implementation.

We have made offers to the United Nations to begin the first phase, regarding ports, and we are ready to begin this phase. The United Nations believes that it will be embarrassed by the delay of the other party, where it will score an advanced step in favor of the National party, so it asked to wait and seek to find fabrications from here or from there.

There is now an opportunity with regard to the implementation of the first phase which is to reach understandings in this regard depends on the implementation of a step, in relation to the ports, and a step by the traitors and the Emiratis to withdraw from some areas, of course, a limited withdrawal. We are awaiting the implementation of this step, which is an encouraging factor to complete the rest of the steps of the agreement.

Almasirah TV Anchor:

Moving to another file in the negotiating process, after negotiations and optimism in the file of prisoners, what is the conclusion that appeared to you, Sayyed, especially as the other party claims its keenness to resolve this file?

Sayyed Abdulmalik:

Of course, the file of the prisoners is also a humanitarian file in the first place. We have been striving diligently in all the past stages to address this file for its humanitarian considerations. We have been offering all the offers, that we are ready, if they want, to exchange at once (all prisoners, all we have and all they have), we are ready, if they want, to exchange with certain percentages.

We are surprised that although there are prisoners of prominent leading figures from the other side, both traitors and mercenaries in addition to Saudi officers and soldiers, they do not care about this file and do not address this matter with responsibly at all.

The other side has reached with us signed agreements, we have signed the first formula and the second formula, we made understandings, but it tries to disavow after each formula or understanding. In the recent negotiations in Jordan, the aggression side tried to evade the agreement, it hindered, delayed again and refrained from implementing what was agreed upon.

We confirm that we are ready, in accordance with all these offers, whether to exchange at once or in specific percentages, the problem is with them not with us. They have no humanity and do not care about their prisoners. This inhumane treatment of the prisoners' file presents a terrible picture of them.

They also deal with the prisoners, in many cases, in brutally and criminally way even with the prisoners in the battlefield. They used to film scenes of the battlefield, scenes of executions, scenes of crimes, torture, violation and abuse of prisoners, ill-treatment, inhuman treatment and treatment that have nothing to do with the Islamic law, values and ethics. Add to this what is happening in prisons. The situation for prisoners is very tragic and painful. The extent of crimes provides a picture of the fact that these parties do not act as states with moral, humanitarian and legal obligations. They do not deal by virtue of belonging to Islam and Islamic values, you can see them dealing with prisoners like monsters, gangs and criminals.

Almasirah TV Anchor:

With regard to the humanitarian course and the reality of the humanitarian disaster in Yemen as a result of the aggression and siege, Sayyed, it have been observed in recent weeks the tightening of the blockade and the prevention of Oil and relief vessels from entering the port of Hodeidah. Are these procedures contrary to the Stockholm agreement? What are the options available to face the escalation of the siege and its disastrous effects on the people? What pressure papers are in your hands?

Sayyed Abdulmalik:

This method has been used since the beginning of the aggression, where the countries of aggression practice the siege and restrictions even in the arrival of the necessary things, while they don't have document in preventing them from reaching, for example, Oil derivatives and essential food staples.

There are arbitrary restrictions and procedures that are not based on the resolutions of the Security Council or the United Nations charters and are in violation of international law, the resolutions of the Security Council and the rights agreed upon and accepted in peoples and countries, even under the embargo and wars.

This is not the first time of not permitting the access of Oil derivatives, this is known from the beginning of the aggression to date. It is repeated frequently and often. Oil derivatives only enter with difficulty after delay, causing crisis in the internal situation. These arbitrary restrictions and procedures are used to collectively punish the Yemeni People. It testifies that what they are doing --the coalition of aggression and their mercenaries --is a total aggression and targeting of this Yemeni People. The issue is not a matter of war on coups, because they deliberately act, unjustified and irresponsible, to harm all the Yemeni citizens. Their acts contradict not only the agreement of Sweden, but also the conventions of the United Nations with the rights guaranteed to peoples even under wars. They are unjust and aggressive measures aimed at undermining this people and collective punishment in all means.

Almasirah TV Anchor:

Yes, and in turn, what are solutions, suggested by them, to alleviate the suffering of Yemeni People? I am talking about the fact in which the capital and a number of provinces are witnessing Oil crisis and car lines are along the streets.

Sayyed Abdulmalik:

The responsible for this crisis are the alliance of aggression, we hold them responsible, and this is their crime and this is their behavior. Yes, of course, as Yemeni People, we can, with the help of god, move further. These unjust crimes will motivate us to confront this flagrant aggression against the people of Yemen. Of course, there are movements on the diplomatic track and other tracks, and in the future, we can develop means of deterrence on the level of both the Naval and Military forces, to take actions that our people have the right to take if these unjust practices continue.

Almasirah TV Anchor:

Yes, returning to the negotiating subject and about the aggression countries. With activating of the envoy Martin Griffith, we have observed the distinction of the British role, either in the Security Council or through their follow-up to the Stockholm agreement. How do you see the British role in the aggression? In your opinion is it complementary to The American role or has competing interests?

Sayyed Abdulmalik:

The British regime has a colonial history. It also has a colonial history in Yemen. In Aden and the southern provinces, it also has tried to occupy Hodeidah. Britain has this orientation, along with the Americans. It is present in all issues of the region with its American partner. And in our Yemeni file, it is present and perhaps it is due to its colonial experience in the past period, the American can benefit from it in addition to that it has a desire to continue this colonial role, but under the US coverage.

Almasirah TV Anchor:

Yes, you personally, Sir, when you meet with the UN envoy, during his visits to Sana'a, what is the nature of the discussions going on between you and the envoy? And whether he is carrying messages from international or regional sources to you?

Sayyed Abdulmalik:

There is usually a certain context for the visits of the envoy. Sometimes it comes under the escalation in Hodeidah, and then Hodeidah becomes a major subject. When it comes during preparing a negotiation tour, we discuss and talk about the preparation process and what is required. Usually we talk about the most important matters, the humanitarian issues, such as the prisoners' matter, the matters of the airport, seaport and blockade, the economic issue and neutralizing humanitarian and political matters. However, so far there is no result. He is a delegate and an envoy carrying messages that offer certain endeavors.

Almasirah TV Anchor:

Yes, but when you meet this envoy, in most meetings, if not all of them, you talk about your keenness on the importance of neutralizing the economy as you mentioned, paying the salaries and opening Sana'a airport. What are the justifications that the envoy gives which prevent the fulfillment of these demands?

Sayyed Abdulmalik:

He does not provide justifications. He does not have any justification to be provided. The other parties that prevent the fulfillment of these demands, the US with Britain and their regional tools, have also no clear reasons. These actions are arbitrary measures because they are not based on resolutions of the Security Council. They contravene to the United Nations charters. They are violations of human rights and all rights so they have no justification. Of course, he is embarrassed to clarify, this is obvious, and he feels that he did not succeed in persuading those parties to respond to these issues.

Almasirah TV Anchor:

Yes, Sayyad Abdulmalik , we will move on to talk about several important topics in the beginning of the second part of the dialogue but I beg you and viewers pardon to go on a break and come back to complete the talk about all important and pivotal topics .

Almasirah TV Anchor:

Once again, welcome dear viewers wherever you are, and I return to greet the guest of this extraordinary interview, Sayyed Abdulmalik Al-Houthi. Sayyed Abdulmalik, before talking about the negotiations with the bad neighbor, Saudi Arabia, which is an aggression tool to return legitimated government of Hadi to Yemen, we had witnessed the Warsaw Conference. Were you surprised by the appearance of so-called Foreign Minister of Hadi in that place with the US and Israel?

Sayyed Abdulmalik:

The beginning, the legitimacy is for our Yemeni People and our Yemeni People are oppressed. Legitimacy is for it for its right and just cause with its obvious grievance. What the alliance of aggression does, first to intervene in our internal affairs as a Yemeni people, is considered a foreign interference from foreign they do not have the right to do so, neither American, nor the British, nor the Israeli, nor the Saudi, nor the UAE, has legitimacy.

Second, they are occupying the country and this is clear. Areas, in the southern provinces, some eastern provinces and in some areas of the West Coast, witness direct control by the United States and the Britain and some areas by Saudi Arabia. They control ports, airports, military bases, economic facilities such as Oil springs, Oil installations and vital facilities. Neither Hadi nor other so-called ministers, nor leaders of mercenaries can override the authority of Emirati that is under the supervision of the United States, the British or the Saudi. Even to the point of Hadi's visiting to Aden, he cannot come to Aden unless he has the permission and he is not allowed to remain there but to the extent approved by the UAE. When the Emirati wants to get him out, he is expelled out of Aden and he goes to Riyadh. The whole practices are practices of occupation and the whole situation is a state of occupation and direct control over everything. They have no legitimacy to occupy Yemen.

Third, they commit the most heinous crimes since the beginning of the aggression, from the first bombing operation in Sana'a to today. These crimes are illegitimated and can never be true or legitimated. Violations like what are committed in prisons in the southern governorates and criminal practices such as raping and other crimes cannot be legitimized and cannot be true or legitimated.

This situation of occupation, committing such crimes and interference in our internal affairs is not legitimated, neither according to the United Nations nor international law nor customs in the human reality, however, they are executed under false pretexts. There is difference between the false pretexts and the fixed facts. Our people have the legitimacy in defending their land, defending their freedom, their independence and their dignity. It is a guaranteed right by all laws according to the United Nations and humanitarian norms. This is the true legitimacy that matches all recognized laws in the human reality and before that, it comes from the Holy Quran and Yemeni people identity, which are been based by them on all positions and actions.

The truth about the forces of aggression and the aggression countries is that they want to control this country, its land and human. They want to add this country, within the framework of what they seek in the region, to absolute dependence of America and normalization with Israel. This is what they want for Yemen and other countries. Yemen with other Arab countries are wanted to be submitted to them to American hegemony and to normalize with Israel. That is why they had brought the traitor and mercenary to attend Warsaw party. He does not represent the Yemeni people. Dear Yemeni People are free and adhered to the issues of the nation, hostel Israel and considering it an enemy of the nation. Attending such party reflects and reveals the truth about what they wanted us as Yemeni People to be.

Almasirah TV Anchor:

Yes, Sayyed Abdulmalik, by moving to the Saudi role, the aggression mercenaries say that you pose a serious threat to Saudi Arabia. What is the truth and the dispelling response? What is the problem with the relationship?

Sayyed Abdulmalik:

This is an allegation on their part. We say neither at this stage nor in the past stages, and since the establishment of the Saudi authority until this day, was Yemen a danger to it. It is Saudi who has been the aggressor and who interfere in the internal affairs of Yemen.

This is known historically both during the royal era and the Republican era. There are prominent stations, in the level of Saudi intervention, which at a certain stage it reached the killing of President Al-Hamdi in Yemen. The Saudi intervention and negative policies towards Yemen are well known, and proven by events and constant facts and known even by the Yemeni people. They know that the one who is negative towards the other and intervenes in the other internal affairs is the Saudi regime.

There is no war with Saudi Arabia that has been started by Yemen. The Saudi authority has started every war. The negative interventions were also executed by the Saudi side on Yemen and not from the Yemeni side to Saudi Arabia. To this stage, and in relation to the current situation, there has never been any pre-aggression started by our side. Therefore, who represents a danger to the other, pose a threat to the other, has negative precedents of wars and who attacks, and intervenes is not Yemen but Saudi Arabia.

The Saudi authority in particular is the one who negatively intervenes and repeats attacks. We can say, as a Yemeni people, that they adopt hostile and negative policies. They must change their aggressive and negative attitude and their unjust, bad and aggressive policies. They are demanding to change their negative view to Yemen and that Yemen should be weak and divided and lives in a state of conflict and crisis. Saudi has to reconsider the nature of the relationship with this country.

There is a big problem in Saudi Arabia's vision of the relationship between Yemen and Saudi Arabia. It wants to control Yemen and wants to live the relationship of submission. This is unacceptable for us as a Yemeni people.

We have always offered good-neighborly, mutual respective and has non-interference in internal affairs relations. This is unacceptable to them, and I am sure of that, the talks, response, many facts and dialogues, in the past stages, have proven that. Their problem, as Saudi authority with us, is not that they have fears that the situation in Yemen poses a threat to them.

No, they want Yemen to be weak they want to reassure that it is under full control to them. They wish they could intervene in every small and large issue, achieving a greed and many considerations here in some areas, which are known to politicians in both media and political atmospheres. This matter, the level of their ambitions, is known regarding the situation.

They are required to change the vision until reaching the conviction that what can be a factor of reassurance, stability and peace is that they should accept dealing with our country on the rule of good-neighborliness, sovereignty respect, independence and mutual respect.

This will bring stability and peace, and that would never cause them any harm. They have to abandon their illegal ambitions on controlling us, confiscating our freedom and independence as Yemeni people, which is guaranteed to us as a right by all considerations.

If they give up this illegal ambition and accept the relation with our people and country based on good-neighborliness, respect and brotherhood of Islam, this will represent a stability. There is no need for annoyance, nor conflict, nor bloodshed, nor providing their huge sums of money to the US, Britain and Western countries and putting themselves in a long conflict and unnecessary and useless problems.

We hope that this message will reach the Saudi authority that it has to change its hostility towards their neighboring country, Yemen. The two countries have common interests, as they are neighbor. We always say that we always appreciate the privacy of this neighborhood. The Yemeni people do not have any problem with them. They are required to review and reconsider this negative outlook and hostile behavior, as well as the UAE does. The UAE is putting and implicating itself in the problem and this would cause a threat in its independent in the future. There was no prior threat to the Saudis or the Emirati people from Yemen. The ongoing aggression, the continuation of this aggression, the commission of crimes against this country and seeking to occupy this country will pose real risks to the UAE economy in the future.

The UAE depends heavily on the economy, as a market and, of course, even Britain has many investments there, so Britain has to know that its investments there will be in threat, if this aggression, escalation, occupation efforts and crimes daily continue. I hope that this massage to reach to them and to be well understood.

Almasirah TV Anchor:

What about having direct negotiations with Saudi Arabia? Are there any bilateral channels in an attempt to bring closer together the views between you and Saudi Arabia?

Sayyed Abdulmalik:

There is a possibility of delivering messages to them or to us. This is possible and available, but such subject requires serious willingness in changing the negative vision towards the relationship. Adhering to a certain negative vision towards the relationship is a problem and a dilemma that actually cause great problems in the present and future. You say if you want good-neighborliness, Muslim brotherhood, common interests, a relationship based on respect for independence, freedom and dignity, this is available.

However, by the insistence on subjugating the country and having a relationship with the country, as it is with mercenaries, which means confiscation of the right on having a decision, confiscating its independence, and to receive speech should be delivered, this is not acceptable. It is transferred that Mohammed bin Salman has said that he wants employees in Yemen and not agents, quoted by diplomatic sources who heard him. He wants in Yemen employees and not agents! It is not acceptable neither to have employees nor agents. We have an independent country; we have the right to be in an independent country.

Our political decision has to be an independent decision without being fully controlled by external relations and even military capabilities have. The level of our economic situation, they have no right to put a low limit for everything. Low limit that means if any Yemeni tries to stand up, he hits his head! This is unacceptable; and forms a big problem. It is possible if they give up this illegal ambition, there will be a constructive, positive and correct relationship.

Almasirah TV Anchor:

Sayyed Abdulmalik, by talking about the internal fronts, as well as mentioning the humanitarian and economic crisis, from the first confrontation with the aggression and under the unjust siege, you have focused on the internal front. What are your fears in this regard, especially with the intensification of the siege, economic crises and not paying salaries?

Sayyed Abdulmalik:

The cohesion in confronting the aggression depends on this internal situation. The internal situation is a very important issue for persisting the steadfastness and cohesion in the face of aggression. Of course, there are broad paths of actions to maintain this cohesion in the internal front, both politically and socially. The enemies exert great efforts to break up the people unity. They have worked in the political tracks to break up the political parties, break the cohesion, cooperation and concerted efforts, and unite in facing the aggression.

They work in dismantling social cohesion and this is an important issue, of course. There are good courses of action in all aspects, the political, the social and all levels. As long as we work seriously to respond and to face each plot, the future seems to be good, there are no fears except in the case of negligence and default.

Almasirah TV Anchor:

Before talking about antibiotics, about two years and more since the formation of the National Salvation Government, Sayyed Abdulmalik, how do you evaluate the performance of this government comparing with the presented challenges?

Sayyed Abdulmalik:

The government is currently facing the legacy of the past with all the problems of the past, and this is known in the country that there have been many problems in the last phase. It has faced also the challenges of the present. In the government work, there are big challenges and great difficulties and obstacles. However, there are successes that has begun to be achieved at the economic and service levels. The first success was the cohesion of the state entity and its institutions.

They were working to bringing it to the brink of collapse, until we have a country without a state and no existence for these institutions. The cohesion itself is a victory and success. Then going to better stages of performance, development stage and improving performance and then to a vision with practical paths of the national vision, to develop the institutions, address many of the past problems and imbalances, and encounter present challenges.

We have passed or crossed three important stages. The first phase is the coherence in the institutions of the state and preserving it from being collapsed. The second stage is the start of the activating these institutions, albeit at limited levels, but they are beginning to work and this is clear. The third stage is the beginning of the practical steps of the national vision. This would be important, useful and fruitful for all state institutions in all economic, administrative field of the state and in the fight against corruption. The work has insufficiencies and failures and this is clear for many reasons. One of which we have mentioned is due to political considerations and other considerations.

Nevertheless, we are optimistic that the future will be better. The most important thing now is that we have freed ourselves, in the course of building the state and reforming the institutions, of the external influence and interference.

This gives us the opportunity to do a lot of what is possible, which is within our capability. Our capability is something good and important even though there are difficulties. All people face difficulties in the entire world and all countries face difficulties, challenges and obstacles.

However, in the past, even if there was a vision or idea of important works to reform a state institution, there had been a very big obstacle to any real reforming or real and serious development, which is the outer intervention that forms a veto on each step that has benefit for this country.

Now, there is a real opportunity, while we are free of this external role and control, and with the positive interaction of the political components. In the past, there were obstacles that the existing situation in the state was the situation of competition, partisan interests, and even personal interests.

In the past, interests had intervened on the course of action in state institutions. They had been controlled by the external intervention and the internal problems, quarrels and rivalry along with the authority factor of certain personalities or entities that had been a problem in the past. Today we are largely free of these evils. We are now facing an opportunity to launch the National Vision, and we will start to work on it in important ways, including the fight against corruption.

Almasirah TV Anchor:

Sayyed Abdulmalik, on the fight against corruption, the people are very optimistic about the approach to take serious steps against corruption, as you called it "using Antibiotics", to combat corruption in governmental institutions.

Sayyed Abdulmalik:

There is a trend within the framework of the national vision to reform and develop the bodies concerned to combat corruption, the Central Organization for Control and Accounting and the Anti-Corruption Authority, to work on finding ways that will help to improve the performance of these bodies and will have an effective role also.

We assume that, in the future, there will be a positive role for the House of Representatives and away from personal or partisan conflicts or subject to second considerations and classifications, serious, honest and sincere work. We assume this in the Shura Council as well in the future.

However, there is great reliance on changing the staff of the Anti-Corruption Authority and working through the National Vision to develop this important authority and the Central Organization for Control and Accountability to reform these concerned parties.

The development of their work will greatly help to address corruption and curb corruption, although corruption is weak because revenues are little and limited.

Almasirah TV Anchor:

Yes, are you confident about the ability of these authorities to perform the intended and hoped-for role, in the current reality?

Sayyed Abdulmalik:

Through supporting, developing and developing the necessities, at the administrative level and the governmental level, there is great hope of achieving important results in the future.

Almasirah TV Anchor:

Yes, some ask: Will the measures be taken against those who practice corruption or cover up corrupters, even if they are affiliated with Ansarallah?

Sayyed Abdulmalik:

In this matter we say that we will work to ensure that there is no protection, neither political nor non-political, for any corrupt party of any component, either from our side or from our partners in the state institutions.

The Prime Minister’ office and the Supreme Political Council, which will contribute significantly to the fact that no corrupt person has any protection from any party, whether affiliated with Ansarallah or others from the Popular Congress Party or any party.

Almasirah TV Anchor:

Yes, in light of the humanitarian conditions that our country is living, under: the unjust siege, and in the light of the experiences of a number of countries, the practices of the organizations and their suspicious role and the intelligence work their attempts to corrupt the financial and administrative and the decay of state institutions, how do you assess the performance of these hidden organizations in the name of humanitarian work in Yemen and what the states’ institutions are supposed to do on this aspect?

Sayyed Abdulmalik:

Many organizations did not come out here with good intentions to do charity work, this is a well-known thing. The organizations have connections and international relations, some of them to European bodies, some of them to US agencies and some of them to parties not known for nobility, ethics and human sense.

They have a negative view, ambitions and goals, at the same time there are advantages and disadvantages. There is a very important project presented by the official side, through the National Relief Commission, is about to take a role soon. It helps the positive and disciplined role of these organizations that consider the Yemeni law, the Constitution the custom and considerations that concern the national security of the country and related to the internal security of the country.

This program, which is provided by the National Relief Commission will help to rationalize and control this role as much as possible.

Almasirah TV Anchor:

Yes, in light of the cultural, intellectual and moral targeting through Soft War and through multiple methods to target the society. What is it that is betting on the immunity of the Yemenis in the face of this dirty war, to guard against its methods and danger?

Sayyed Abdulmalik:

The so-called Soft War is a disinformation and corruption war, waged by the enemies on our Islamic world and all of our Arab and Islamic peoples, a portion of this war targets the Yemeni people.

Thanks to God, the Yemeni people has a legacy and high reserve of principles, values and ethics that help cohesion. Even at the level of customs and traditions, many of which are related to Islamic teachings and are also linked to Islamic law, help in the process of cohesion. But this needs to be based on active work. If there is no effort as needed, in a structured and purposeful manner to counter this attack, the Soft War will achieve breakthroughs and have influence in the arena. It is aimed at everyone, targeting youth people, children, men and women. It is a two-pronged: first, targeting, intellectual stratification aimed at intellectual influence, influence in public opinion and manufacturing ideas and trends. It looks to serve the enemies and help to achieve their goals and ambitions. The second is the moral targeting in ethics and values. We are in the process of consultation and study of this subject, many concerned authorities in the state, there are orientation with programs and activities of a wide work will help in dealing with this work.

Almasirah TV Anchor:

Yes, Sayyed Abdulmalik Al-Houthi, peg your pardon for the second time and I ask you and viewers to excuse us to go to a break. And to come back to talk about the nature of the relationship and its level with Hezbollah as well as related to the side of the response and deterrence. The future of military manufacturing and a number of important matters related to the future of confrontation with the aggression. But as I said to you and my viewers, after the break, please remain with us.

Almasirah TV Anchor:

Once again, welcome our distinguished viewers and in your name, I return to greet and welcome Sayyed Abdulmalik Al-Houthi in this extraordinary and important pivotal interview.

We will talk about a number of important causes, Palestine, the situation in the south, the relationship with Hezbollah, the response and deterrence. But before all of this, the US-involvement in the aggression against Yemen, the announcement of, US President, Trump’s veto against Congress's decision to end the American contribution or support in the aggression on Yemen, how do you see what comes from Washington especially that the aggression is in its fifth year and not in its first months?

Sayyed Abdulmalik:

The American role in the aggression from the beginning is fundamental, in which without this role there would have not been an aggression. This role also remains essential in the continuation of the aggression, without this role, the aggression would have stopped. The American supervises this aggression, provides it with the necessary political cover and it intervenes in many things and details.

In accordance with this role the British role comes and then the role of others involved in the aggression.

It is not strange that this step comes from Trump, who also adopts foolish steps, aggressive steps and extremely hostile steps to the Islamic Nation in general. In addition to taking its decision to continue supporting the aggression, this is a decision to continue the aggression not just to support it...

Prior to this, the positions towards the Palestinian issue came from Trump and from the US. administration, positions towards Syria and the Golan and negative attitudes towards the region's issues in general, The American is going toward very negative escalation steps in dealing with the region in general, but no matter what are these steps and actions and his hostile approach is, there are strong and very important positions both in Yemen and the forces of resistance in Palestine, Lebanon and the Islamic and Arab arena. The American will fail and his tools will too.

Almasirah TV Anchor:

Yes, as for the aggression, what is the cause of a harmony created by this aggression between the Israeli and the rest of the countries involved in the aggression? , We see revealed facts and scandals, last was congratulations by the heads of Arab countries after Netanyahu’s reelection? He showed off their happy sentiments for his reelection.

Sayyed Abdulmalik:

We are at an important stage in the history of the region, a stage that reveals the facts and clarifies matters. This stage of the nature of the US and Israeli agenda and projects requires that this role be opened and clear and that this role, which at certain stages is hidden and under the table to be visible and clear. As if the enemies, at this stage, aimed to resolve a number of files in the region, including the liquidation of the Palestinian cause and steps in the Arab region against the countries and peoples of the region.

These steps require a role of pro-America and Israel tools, open steps, large steps and practical criminal and bad steps. This was an important factor in being exposed, the nature of projects, such as the planned aggression on Yemen, the liquidation of the Palestinian cause, confiscation of Arab rights in the rest of the occupied territories, conspiring against a number of countries and to work to bring them to a state of collapse. All these dangerous, large and open steps have required that this role be exposed in an unprecedented manner and enter into an important phase of cooperation and loyalty and move with the agenda and conspiracies on this nation of both parties, regional clients and tools along with the American and Israeli side.

Almasirah Anchor:

Yes, you remind the issue of the liquidation of the Palestinian cause in the Deal of the Century, one of the sides of this deal is the aggression on Yemen, to what extent do you think that the Yemeni steadfastness has stopped the Saudi's efforts to liquidate this cause, which is the most important nation's causes?

Sayyed Abdulmalik:

Trump's deal is actually dependents on some forces of involved in the aggression, the Saudi role and the negative Emirati role, is an important factor in subjugating the Palestinian People and in imposing this deal to be accepted in the region in general.

But we believe that the dilemma of these tools in the battle in Yemen, the difficulty of the battle and their drowning in the battle has largely kept them busy and frustrate to a large extent and underestimated their effectiveness or ability to play a very prominent role to complete this deal, Trump's deal, I mean.

Almasirah TV Anchor:

Yes, returning to the internal situation, regarding the south, the occupied territories, mercenaries and the public amnesty, announced by Sana’a. Recently it was noticed, Sayyed Abdulmalik, the return of personalities joined the aggression, returned to the capital Sana'a, and is there efforts and coordination in this track or the conditions produced by the aggression in the occupied territories played the main role?

Sayyed Abdulmalik:

Both of them are co-factor.

Almasirah TV Anchor:

Sayyed Abdulmalik, Your assessment of the growing rejection of some of the southern and eastern provinces against Saudi and Emirati, especially what is happening in Al-Maharah, Socotra and Aden, lately, Socotra and Aden witnessed demonstrations demanding the departure of the occupation.

Sayyed Abdulmalik:

At the beginning of the foreign invasion of the country and the southern provinces, there was a massive disinformation campaign, to try to portray this aggression and this invasion as if it’s for the benefit of the people of the southern provinces. In addition, there has been exploitation of the previous problems and internal crises of the complexity the people live there, But with time, and with criminal practices and behavior that is the conduct of occupation, in every sense of the word, by the UAE under the US and British supervision, there is vigilance and there is a growing awareness in the southern provinces and there is an awareness of the nature of this criminal role, which is occupation in every sense of the word.

Confiscating freedom, violating dignity and practicing oppression reaching to the UAE prisons that the world has talked about. It has become clear that they are practicing the crimes of rape and many crimes, murder, targeting, economic suffering, all forms of crimes.

In the beginning, some of them would have imagined that Aden would become like Dubai, Abu Dhabi, or Jeddah, and that the Gulf money would flow to the citizens and that the citizens would enter a new type of living, luxury, comfort and prosperity. There was a huge media campaign to make the occupation accepted. But the practices of this occupation and its brutal crimes and reveal a lot of facts makes there is a new opportunity to conscious and responsible move of this occupation and this indicator is currently clear there.

The beneficiary and marginalized group with the UAE is a limited group, traitors and customers, but there are millions of people in the southern provinces living in oppression, humiliation, of dignity and difficult living conditions, the awareness that occupation is taking place, ' in every sense of the word, and that it violates and confesses freedom. There is hope in the future, God willing, for a great movement this movement grows to achieve victory, expel the occupier, cleans the lands.

Almasirah TV Anchor:

Sayyed Abdulmalik, Yemen today, by the aggression and occupation, threatened to be divided, especially as the aggression is active in the areas of its control subdivision activity. Do you think that Yemen, at this stage and in front of this insistence, still has the internal problems and confront the plots of regionalization and division?

Sayyed Abdulmalik:

The coalition of aggression is succeeding in that there are mercenaries, some individuals and entities that are clearly and openly active for this fragmentation and this division, whether under racist headlines or sectarian headlines or regional headlines or political headlines, but the general orientation of the people and the citizens, is never reacted and cannot be affected by these efforts.

The influence remains limited either in Ideological categories with some intellectual and cultural or related to limited material issues, but the masses of people and the majority of the people adhere to independence, unity and dignity and are not affected by these propaganda. The position of some can be weak, does not amount to an effective level to address these propagandas and these activities and these dividing projects. But in the presence of a strong component in the country and all components adopt this right orientation to maintain freedom, independence, and dignity and save the people and this country. The general reaction is to frustrate all other projects, God willing.

Almasirah TV Anchor:

By God's willing, Sayyed Abdulmalik let’s turn to the reaction and deterrent, and with regard to the military side and the conditions of the frontlines.

First the border frontlines, as a military commander, what is going on there and are there plans for further escalation and confrontation with the Saudi Army, the painful front for the Saudis?

Sayyed Abdulmalik:

Of course, there is an important point that we want to clarify and talked about, and we referred to it in some of the speeches regarding borders, so that we return to the danger posed to the other side.

The operations in the border began as a response to this aggression and forty days after the beginning of the aggression, within forty days we were keen to deliver messages to the Saudi authority that it would be better for them to stop their aggression before the occurrence of this clashes and before the events develop and then there are complications even at the level of the case, after this period, forty days.

We began operations to respond to the crimes of the Saudi regime in the framework of this aggression and committed crimes since the first raids on cities and villages and the Yemeni People in all of the country. Operations began on the border and were effective and impactful and will continue and achieved a very large success to the extent that the Saudi army collapsed completely in the border.

We believe that the important factor that the Saudi army is not convinced of this aggression. They know that the Saudi regime began attacking this country unnecessarily. They know the issue in every sense of the word and war is not necessary. In addition to our conviction as a Yemeni People in the battle, because it is a battle of defense, self-defense, honor, freedom, independence and dignity. The performance of the fighting in the borders was effective and strong and reached at one point that the Saudi authority came with an alternative army to fight instead of the Saudi army after a complete collapse of all its sites at the border and for all brigades fighting from the Saudi army at the border.

They bring mercenaries from different countries, from Yemen, from the agents and the traitors, thousands of fighters from Syria and from Sudan with thousands of Sudanese mercenaries. Thousands of fighters in the border. Most of those fighting now are on the border are foreign trying to carry out border breaches. Some Yemeni mercenaries unfortunately provide themselves as redemption for Saudi officers and soldiers, some Syrian mercenaries, some Sudanese mercenaries and many other regions.

The significance of the situation in the borders is great, the military escalation is great, the battle there is great, but there is steadfastness and there is pressure on the forces of aggression against the Saudi regime.

We believe that the conviction, may come late and after a great cost that the actual interest in him to stop continuing this aggression.

Almasirah TV Anchor:

If we talk about your speech on the occasion of Four Years of Steadfastness, you promised to respond in the depth of the countries of aggression in the event of an escalation on Hodeidah, what about the details that the aggression states should know about the significance of the response?

Sayyed Abdulmalik:

Strategic and important goals, the missiles can reach Riyadh and beyond Riyadh, Abu Dhabi and Dubai, to vital and sensitive targets. They know what we mean by vital, sensitive, important and influential goals. We hope that they will take the lesson.

Almasirah TV Anchor:

Sayyed Abdulmalik, you pointed out that the Yemeni Armed Forces have technologies that neither Saudi Arabia nor the UAE possess. And you said, let's the field talks, how did the Yemeni Armed Forces build these capabilities?

Sayyed Abdulmalik:

The Saudi and Emirati buy rockets, buy planes, depend on purchase, and can get sophisticated weapons and even need to benefit by supervision and management by Americans, British and foreigners. Even in the process of using these weapons they cannot afford to take advantage of them and use them, and remains linked even in the issue of spare parts and maintenance, in all the details they need the manufacturers, need the American, need the British, need the French, in which any Western countries from which they buy weapons, and they do not have the techniques do not manufacture, do not produce, cannot even save their war equipment, cannot even take advantage of in the implementation, and do not even have to make spare parts.

Yemenis, despite the limited potential and very difficult circumstances, which we suffered from in the past and what we suffer from in the present, have possession of technology. It is true that our level of production is still limited, but this problem is to be solved with time. The amount of production is increasing, but the possession of technology, the ability to manufacture and the ability to innovate, this is due to knowledge and to the acquisition of knowledge.

Thanks to God, our experts have gained knowledge and experience, and are working on the production process. The difficult conditions are limiting the level of production, but also with time we strive to provide more and more, which develops the manufacturing capacity and also continues the process of development, whether in missiles or in the drones, or in any other techniques.

Almasirah TV Anchor:

Some wonders, how could have the besieged Yemen have military capabilities to face this aggression?

Sayyed Abdulmalik:

There are many ways, there is no need to go into detail, to get this knowledge and gain this experience, but there are experiences for many countries has been besieged and lived in difficult economic conditions, at the same time produced, developed and manufactured, many examples in the world. This is available and possible. For example, there may be an impact on the economic difficulties by the siege, the difficult conditions, as we said at the level of production and this will be solved. Our people is really worthy of being a productive and innovative people, where many smart people, educated and understanding. The Yemeni themselves are eager to have knowledge, produce and innovate. And became patient in the face of difficulties and challenges. The Yemeni People did not live luxuriant, and did not live, in the high stage, with their needs provided in living luxury and comfort.

All the past stages we lived in difficult conditions, as Yemenis, but there is some taming to do and produce and this what has happened in the war situation, even in the economic siege.

Great efforts to confront the economic siege by the general public, great efforts in innovation, in working and in activeness. These are the characteristics the Yemeni People has, in its vitality in its effectiveness in its innovation, in its creativity.

Almasirah TV Anchor:

After a long record of military achievements achieved by the naval forces, targeting several warships, like Swift and Al-Madinah, from your position as a Military Commander what is the message about the next phase in the sea battle?

Sayyed Abdulmalik:

Of course, the details are still secrets, but there are important, appropriate and effective arms manufactured ready to be used when needed.

Almasirah TV Anchor:

Yes, Sayyed Abdulmalik , by moving on to the subject of regional and international relations, and talking about the situation of some Arab countries, what can Yemen offer to Palestine, if a war breaks out with the Zionists entity?

Sayyed Abdulmalik:

We hope, God willing, there will be an opportunity for the Yemeni people to present the public light, human momentum and support with all possible means. We may have some obstacles. However, God willing, we will be able to do whatever we can.

Almasirah TV Anchor:

The Saudi describes Ansarullah in Yemen the same as the Israeli describes Hezbollah in Lebanon. Does this match have a secret?

Sayyed Abdulmalik:

There is a defined policy used by some regimes in the region, which operates under the American role, to target free people in the nation that oppose US and Zionist hegemony.

Almasirah TV Anchor:

How do you describe the relationship with Hezbollah during the recent events?

Sayyed Abdulmalik:

This is a very sensitive issue. We often point out that we are working to strengthen our relations in the Islamic arena, in general, and with some groups within this arena, foremost of which are the resistance groups. We proceed through a clear vision that is supposed to be the vision of every Muslim. We believe that as Muslims in our relations, we should have a relationship of brotherhood, understanding, cooperation, striving to be one nation that cooperates with each other, unite with each other and understand each other, this is an Islamic principle. (And hold firmly to the rope of Allah all together and do not become divided) as Allah says in Qur'an. Allah also says (And do not be like the ones who became divided and differed after the clear proofs had come to them. And those will have a great punishment.), (And do not quarrel with one another lest you should lose courage and your power depart.), (The believers are but brothers), Allah also says.

This situation, which is a presumed state for all relations in the Islamic arena in general, and among all the sons of the nation, is the relation of brotherhood, understanding, cooperation, awareness that the same risks are threatening everyone. The abnormal is the opposed of such relationship.

When we talk about the nature of relations between us and Hezbollah For example, or with the resistance groups as general, we proceed through this vision. At the same time, we are ready to have positive, good and excellent relations and without a limit within the framework of Islam, with all the sons of our nation. As we say those who refuse, are the ones who have problem. As they refuse to have a positive relationship with us, oppose us and anger if we have any positive relationship with one of the sons of the nation. The parties that have irritation to this issue are the Saudi and UAE regime. They have a very sensitive irritation to the fact that we have an example of such relationship with people of the nation, especially the resistance movements.

The Saudi, the UAE regimes and some other regimes are racing to have relations with Israel and to by a follower to the US. They move obviously to have such relations, as if this issue is normal. They describe the situation of relations between the sons of the Islamic nation as suspicious and problematic. However, the relationship with Israel and US is described as a normal relationship, which has no dirt and no irritation and no problem to them. We say as much as they are keen to have relations with Israel and US, we are also keen to have positive and strong relations with all the people of our Islamic nation. Relations raise to the level of the cooperation in the face of dangers that we believe are threatening the whole nation.

They tried to classify things by wrong classifications. For example, the freedom, independence, anti-American hegemony and hostility to Israel principles are turned to be an Iranian issue, not a matter that should be assumed by the entire nation and all people of the nation. When we say we have to be a free nation that is not sub missioned by the US and we have to oppose Israel, as it is a real enemy, which occupies Arab territories, constitutes a danger and represents a disastrous threat to regional security and peace, they make it an Iranian logic and an Iranian issue and accuse us to be linked to Iran.

The Iranians believe on this principle and it is a correct principle. They lead this matter because of their positions and orders about this principle and this is an honor for them. However, we believe on opposing US and Israel hegemony, the quest for the Islamic nation to be a free and independent nation, moving to support the resistance, the Palestinian people and other people in the region, which has an occupied territory, facing the threat of enemies, which extends to every country in the region, the Red Sea and Bab al-Mandab, and even on the Suez Canal and all the important ports and vital area. They represent a threat to the economy and every aspect in this region. This enemy must be faced by everyone. They make this issue as a major problem. Moreover, we repeat that we strengthen our relationship either with Hezbollah, the Palestinian people, with the Islamic Republic of Iran or with the Iraqi people through this vision. In addition, we are ready at the same time to have a positive relationship to the highest level with all the sons of our Islamic nation, but according this basis and not on the basis that one to impose us dependence on US and normalization with Israel. Then it is made to be a principle on which relations are based on. And we have to antagonize this party or that party. At the same time the common principles that should have been shared by the whole of the nation. Some moved on to face, some did not react and others even oppose such principles.

It is normal that we agree more with the party that says or even works, and has a practical experience in fighting against Israel, anti-American hegemony, in the adoption of the liberation in the region, such as Hezbollah, the Islamic Republic of Iran, as well as the Palestinian resistance, the Iraqi people and the Syrian people.

It is our right that we strengthen these mutual denominators and this orientation, which is supposed to be like links among those who move this trend. The issue in not an Iranian matter nor a Saudi one. The issue is an Islamic matter that every Muslim has to be concerned with. It is an issue, which some have raised, some have retired, some have withdrawn, and others have contradicted it, have turned towards US and have moved towards normalization with Israel. We are working from this vision. We are ready to have relationship with all our nation. Our relations with working parties that are presented in the arena, by meeting them on normal and correct common grounds.

We are not suspicious on having relations with Israel so no one can influence us or raise problems. Our relations are with parties that fight and hostile Israel. Nevertheless, the matter is clear and we are not surprised by the US threat in the region. We know and believe in this danger, we are aware of the level of this danger, and we recognize our responsibility to face it and to face the US destructive agenda in the region. This issue is clear and indisputable. If anyone says why, we will say come and let us have a relation with all nation sons as Muslims. For example, in the situation with Oman there is a relationship at a certain level, although we criticize the Omanis on the issue of normalization, but we say we are ready for a relationship with the people of the nation. However, certainly our common denominators with some of those, who have risen to their responsibilities and moved the right direction of liberation, has a special characteristic feature of relationship, liberal orientation feature.

Almasirah TV Anchor:

Yes, in this path, Sayyed Abdulmalik, how do you see the changes that have taken place in the region, after the US project failure in Syria, Iraq and after the American decisions that recognize Jerusalem and the Golan Heights as an Israeli enemy property? As well as your view towards the classification of the Revolutionary Guards as a terrorist organization?

Sayyed Abdulmalik:

As I have said, we move from this vision. We are adhered to our nation issues. We believe that Yemeni, Syrian, Palestinian, Lebanese and Iraqi people (all the people of this region) and all the countries of this region, which are Muslims, are one nation. Any threat from the American or Israeli side against any country is considered a threat to the nation as a whole. Moreover, we consider that we all have to share responsibility facing this danger. We have declared our position towards the situation with regard to Syria and Golan, and the Palestinian side or any country in this region.

We consider that the other parties also tend to a very negative attitude in their pursuit of normalization with Israel in light of these very dangerous developments and negative steps. Such negative steps show that U.S and Israel are two sides of a single coin. And that the Israeli role is not separated from the American at all. It is a joint role between them

Both are moving against our nation and people. They do not respect any relationship. And it is everyone responsibility to act against these negative steps in practical action because what will benefit us is practical action. The time is not the suitable time for some to be irritated to any common actions or positions. The phase needs to have cooperation with all the concerted efforts to have everyone move to address these dangerous steps from U.S and Israel side.

Almasirah TV Anchor:

Yes, and in this curve or about such dangerous circumstance that the nation is living; there is a movement in Algeria after Bouteflika and in the Libyan issue, the conflict escalated on the borders of Tripoli. It is remarkable that the forces involved in the aggression against Yemen are involved in the Libyan issue. Are the UAE and Saudi Arabia regional empires that have all this influence? Or is it once again a US mandate to be implemented by Emirate and Saudi?

Sayyed Abdulmalik:

Trump said that the Saudi regime could not survive for two weeks or more than two weeks without the American protection! How could it be an empire?

There is no doubt that there is a role linked to the US. Notice, for example, in the Sudanese situation, and of course, we greet and appreciation to the Sudanese people and share the concern and position popular revolution that we hope God to write success and victory for it. Nevertheless, the position that came as a military position has carried out a coup this coup was supported by the US, and therefore the American tools in the region, which are the Saudi and the UAE regimes. This role comes in light of the American orientation, and is not proving an empires issue.

Almasirah TV Anchor:

Yes. As for the situation in Sudan, who do manage the authority today and those have received the support of the US, Saudi Arabia and UAE also declared remaining of those who consider the forces they sent, by Bashir to the Yemen as they considered it as necessary, constant and indisputable?

Sayyed Abdulmalik:

It is clear that when the popular revolution in Sudan escalated and fears became great for the fall of the regime, there has been an external intervention during this military coup to steal the Sudanese revolution. The external parties, which are the U.S and its tools in the region, were cautious to lose a person Bashir but not the regime.

This is a serious steal on the popular revolution there. They do so with every revolutionary escalation and every popular renaissance in the region trying to steal them and find alternatives with the same orientation and sometimes alternatives are usually part of the old system that was already in power.

Almasirah TV Anchor:

Yes, Sayyed Abdulmalik, before talking about some of the personal attitudes of your honorable person, How do you describe and after four years aggression, and even in the fifth year, the confrontation of this aggression and the role of the Yemeni tribe in the course of confrontation?

Sayyed Abdulmalik:

We are proud of the role of the Yemeni tribes in all historical periods. In the past the tribes have sacrificed. Today and in the present, they are continuing this great and positive role.

The tribe made a major contribution with the army and is clearly presented in fronts, arena and the sacrifice. They supply fronts by men, money, weapons, gear and convoys despite the difficult circumstances.

It is not strange for our people and the faithful tribes. As they shoulder responsibilities and move to the right direction of freedom from the realization that there is a distinctive feature of this relationship, an advantage of liberal orientation and it is a responsible

Almasirah TV Anchor:

I beg your pardon to have the last break and to come back and continue.

Almasirah TV Anchor:

Again and to the last axes of this extraordinary interview, we are back with the presence of Sayyed Abdulmalik. Sayyed Abdulmalik is following the details and developments of the confrontation on all military fronts, while he is wanted by the aggression countries. What is your situation Sayyed Abdulmalik?

Sayyed Abdulmalik:

Praise be to God, a very normal situation. Not much changes have been happened comparing with what was before the aggression, but in some details. The size of direct meetings have been changed, but we benefit from the screen. Although we have many meetings but the level of public meetings, perhaps the aggression had limited them. The TV screen compensates for it. I, in the practical life, am living a very normal life and nothing changed except in very few details

Almasirah TV Anchor:

Yes, in your speech on the anniversary of the Prophet's birth, Sayyed, you started the speech by praising the greatness of the people before greeting and even offered to sacrifice yourself for them, what feelings that prompted you to start this way?

Sayyed Abdulmalik:

I love our dear people. Yemenites of belief and wisdom. I appreciate this people very much. Many of this people are free and honorable. They are sacrifices, patient and generous, who attend in a very large presence in all religious events despite the very difficult circumstances. If you see, despite the economic conditions and the crisis in oil derivatives, when there is a religious occasion or event of great importance, they attend these occasions very massively and very largely. Attendance on the Prophet's birthday has especial significant because it reflects their faith. It is an unparalleled presence in the world arena. There are no people in all the world celebrating the Prophet's birthday and interacting with this occasion, for loving and glorifying the Prophet Mohammed (Peace be upon him and his family), like the Yemeni people.

This is a sign of very touching faith even in the difficult circumstances. This attendance is usually very difficult, but everyone gets there. Some people attend, despite the illness and some with the fears, challenges and risks of bombarding the roads or the area. There are many risks, threats and challenges that do not limit or diminish this presence, but it is increasing day by day. This reflects the initial moral and spiritual state of faith that is growing in this people, which the aggression did not effect on them negatively. The aggression attacks Yemenis in many ways, media attacks, cultural and intellectual misleading attacks, attacks by all means, such as economic conditions, but it fails.

The steadfastness of this people, its interaction, moral and religious commitment to the important issues prove that they deserve to have the role, God willing, in the present and future, a very great role to carry the message of Islam and the banner of Islam. As the Yemeni people have played a positive, great historically known role at the early years of Islam with Al-Ansar of Al-Ous and Al-Khazraj.

Almasirah TV Anchor:

Yes, Sayyed, before we conclude the path of popular interaction and the military role of the army and security to strengthen the fronts of confrontation until victory, what fears Sayyed Abdulmalik has and what reassures him?

Sayyed Abdulmalik:

We reassure of what we see in the reality of our dear people of liberality, high spirit of sacrifice and patience. Patience on economic suffering and patience regarding the sacrifice. When you see and watch what the martyrs' families and relatives say in the funeral, you assured that there is a steel will, Iron resoluteness and firm belief. This guarantees the continuity and steadfastness of this people and that it receives the mercy, help, support and victory of God Almighty.

The interaction of this people in all dangerous and hot stations at each new escalation, their significant and effective participate in the fronts, presence in the squares and events and their generosity interaction, even from the least, are important factors in reassurance. All contribute to finance fronts, some women by their own gold, some people by sheep and cows. Even with difficult circumstances and simple modest possibilities, all of them contribute with spirit of giving and spirit of sacrifice. This patience is an important factor in reassurance. This determination constantly needs to interact with it on the level of educational and awareness activities to combat what targets it of campaigns mislead and attempts to influence this determination. This is the responsibility of scientists, intellectuals, educational bodies and the official and popular bodies that have a relationship with this aspect, all this reassures us. We are always afraid of default, but our hope is great, we have optimism and faith in the desired outcome that God promised to his worshippers who are patient, pious, oppressed, underdog who are with right and have a fair cause and their grievances are clear, bear responsibility and do their duty.

Almasirah TV Anchor:

In the fifth year of steadfastness, Sayyed, in the days before the holy month of Ramadan, what word would you like to say to the Yemeni people?

Sayyed Abdulmalik:

I say to our dear people we rely, in our response to this aggression, on faith and mental factor. The holy month of Ramadan is coming, it is a month that represents a great opportunity to develop this faith and mental factor and to receive the care and help of God Almighty. We believe in Allah and believe in His true promise. We believe that faith relates to Allah, in which we get His care, help, victory and support in the face of challenges. We are people who the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said about us "Belief is Yemenite". This faith teaches us to trust in God, to resort to God, to respond to His directives, to be guided with His Book, to follow His Messenger (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him and his family). We learned to know that responsibility in jihad to counter aggression, tyrants, criminals and oppressors is part of this faith. It is a commitment of faith, morality and humanity. Thus, the holy month of Ramadan represents a very important opportunity for this main and important aspect, our hope is that everyone will benefit from it. As well as to continue to support the front with money and weapons and strengthen the front with fighters and fighters. Caring for social solidarity and interacting with the Zakat Authority is an issue that we hope will, God willing, be the focus of everyone's interest in. It is very important and can be very useful. It will have a great impact in promoting social solidarity, in dealing with poverty and in addressing the very tragic cases that reach the extent of famine in some areas.

Almasirah TV Anchor:

What is your message, Sayyed, to the people who stand in solidarity with Yemen?

Sayyed Abdulmalik:

We thank and appreciate the Islamic Republic of Iran, as well as on the official and popular level in Lebanon, Iraq and Syria, there is sympathy, there is interaction there is a positive position and responsible attitude. We are reassured that there is sympathy in the Arab and Islamic arena, but many people are not able to express this sympathy.

In some countries, for example, in Tunisia, Egypt and some other countries sympathy appears in some forms of solidarity, on the level of media and social media. We are sure that there is general sympathy towards Yemen as sympathy for the Palestinian people, but there are people who cannot even stand out and show their sympathy with the people of Palestine, let alone Yemen. Can the people of Saudi Arabia, for example, take part in mass demonstrations in support of the Palestinian people? Or it does not dare to do so. The people is bound, there are oppressed people. One day, God willing, they will be freed from these restrictions and they will get rid of them.

Almasirah TV Anchor:

In the end, we are all hopeful and eager to meet you, Sayyed, after achieving victory, with what would you like to conclude this dialogue?

Sayyed Abdulmalik:

I conclude by greeting all the audience who are seeing this interview.

Almasirah TV Anchor:

Sayyed, I just cannot get enough of talking with you, but we are running out of time. Therefore, we cannot help but to thank you very much for giving us this opportunity to meet you and give us some of your precious time.

Sayyed Abdulmalik:

Thank you so much.

Almasirah TV Anchor:

Thank you so much. We wish you, Sayyed, health and longevity. And thank you very much viewers, wherever you are, for the good listening and the generosity of follow-up.
